Abstract The challenges encountered within the construction industry continue to serve as a driving force for the implementation of sustainable development practices. Consequently, there is a growing inclination towards incorporating green technologies within our national framework. An esteemed entity in this domain is Green Rated Integrated Habitat Assessment (GRIHA), a prominent national body entrusted for green constructions in India. Despite the established efficacy of green construction, the number of GRIHA-registered projects remains relatively modest. The ongoing study evaluates a conventional residential venture in Bhopal (M.P.), a Tier-II city, based on 34 GRIHA criteria, aiming to elucidate strategies for securing 1–5-star ratings. This scholarly endeavor is poised to illuminate developers in Tier-II cities regarding deficiencies in construction practices that hinder green certification, thereby stimulating buyer interest in eco-friendly residential properties. The evaluation of the project, in accordance with GRIHA guidelines, sheds light on imperative tasks necessary to meet mandatory criteria.

Keywords: Tier-II city, environmental sustainability, Residential project, sustainable construction, Green rated project.
